Based on best and worst cases

Best and worst cases are gathered and examined at regular intervals to determine what participants think is possible. What is not deemed possible forks into a more achievable best case? and a fictional or fantastic vision listed at all visions?. Any prediction of a bad outcome is added to all LP worst cases - this is a main repository for dissensus opinions arising in any consensus decision making.

vision first

Visions serve mostly to inspire? but also to inform others of what has been deemed impossible, so they can argue about that explicitly. Those things that are predicted, anticipated or expected or envisioned by 2012?, by 2011?, by 2010?, by 2009?, by 2008? and by 2007?, are examined. Interim events arise from efforts to backcast to fixed time horizons such as these immediately comprehensible dates.

The longer term goals after 2012? like the seventh generation?, fourth generation?, second generation? are how the LP utopia? is ultimately constructed. The LP dystopia? also emerges, and all LP worst cases get refined.
